Dear Manjula Behn,
Thanks for taking the time to teach us the mot exquisite cooking in the most simplistic way.
I have adopted no-onion-no-garlic culture lately and I noticed that you don’t add either of these in your recipes! I consider myself very fortunate to have stumbled into your blogs.
Thanks and Best Regards

This is the first recipe I’ve tried and I love it. It has a complex flavor and is great on a winter evening. Since I’m the only one eating it, I’ve had to warm the leftovers up…even better the second night.

I have been watching nearly all of Manjula’s Cooking videos and its been an absolute pleasure.She speaks slowly and clearly,completely relaxed in her Methods,making it easy to follow.I can’t wait to try some of her r
ecipies..Vegie pakoras,bread pakoras,ginger/carrot Soup is a must for me; not to mention the dosas and idli.. I have been struggling for years With dosas & idlis & could never get the hang of it..now I feel quite confident..
Thank you Majula for being such a Nice person & a wonderful Cook.
